Pounder->English pint. Black with thick brown head. Aroma: coffee, roasted malt, chocolate. Taste: bittersweet chocolate, roasted coffee and malt. Good.

16oz can, thanks to robotopera. Shared with b3shine. Dark brown color. Thin light brown head. Some loose dots of lace. Medium, slightly bigger body. Kind of a chewier texture, lighter carbonation. Nice coffee aroma, some dark chocolate, light roasty malt. Malty sweet taste, light on the bitter. Really nice coffee stout.

16 oz can to snifter (thanks DrSilverworm). Looks good; a dark cola with thin beige lacing. Smells of dark malt, chocolate, coffee, and roast. Tastes like it smells with a solid mouthfeel. Solid beer.

16oz can picked up in Milwaukee. Pours a very attractive opaque brown-black body with a creamy beige head. A really solid coffee stout for sure, somewhat watery smooth black malt body with a pleasant coffee flavor. The bitterness, and most of the flavor is coffee derived..the smooth clean malt body really lets it shine. Well done, very pleasurable to drink.

Very nice -- I'm always impressed with flavorful low ABV stouts for some reason. Strong stout aroma after a froth less pour. Quite roasty malt flavors. Very strong roasty coffee notes. Recommended! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Dark brown pour with a thick rocky brown head and some nice lacing. Aroma is quite light again in the brand... hints of roasted coffee a little bit of coccoa powder. Palate is lightly acidic a bit thinner than I like my stouts but coats and holds form well. Flavor is a fairly acidic roasted coffee note some touches of chocolate in the finish. Drinkable but not great a bit too much of the coffee bitterness in the finish w/ out enough balance.

Pint can. Poured dark brown with a short-ish lived toasted coconut head. The aroma picked up sweet, very enticing coffee and lesser mocha notes, with light earthy and herbal accents.. loved it! The flavor found similar stuff.. tasty, moderately-roasted coffee throughout, with touches of coffee, tobacco, and earth too.. greener coffee beans around the edges.. finished with nice balance and plenty more tasty coffee. Medium-bodied at most on the palate, with just enough carbonation.. very good feel and flow.. great beer!

Can from RG. Pours black with nice coffee aroma. Lots of coffee and some vanilla on the tonuge, nice sweetness shining through. Very solid actually.

Thanks for the share OmegaX. This one poured a bold black with some nice lacing and a thin tan head. It smells like fresh coffee and dark chocolate with subtle earthy tones. The taste is bold and bitter; some cocoa, chocolate covered coffee beans and earth among a slightly hoppy finish make for quite the brew. I loved it - if you love coffee you will too!!!

Had opened with lushawn. Nice pairing of roast, coffee, chocolate, and sweet malts. Blackish pour. Tan head. I’ve made this rating rather short; I don’t think it deserves any more words.
